| Abstract |
Provides guidance on the cleaning and degreasing of metal by dipping, soaking or spraying them with liquid cleaners.This is often referred to as 'immersion' or 'cold' cleaning (although the cleaning liquids are sometimes warmed). Many other components have to be degreased or cleaned in situ on plant or equipment, particularly during maintenance. Contents: Environmental controls; Alternatives; Is cleaning necessary? Information from suppliers; Risk assessment; Chlorinated solvents; Other organic chemical solvents; Health hazards; Fire and explosion risks; Immersion cleaning; In situ cleaning; Assisted drying; Storage of solvents; Aqueous cleaning; |
